7[00:03:14] <jhutchins> DJAnonimo: Try looking at a COBOL
program on 17" greenbar.
11[00:04:11] <jmcnaught> DJAnonimo: you are probably using
vim-tiny, try vim or vim-nox packages instead ("apt show
vim-nox" to see descriptions)
12[00:04:58] <DJAnonimo> Version: 2:8.2.2434-3
13[00:05:13] <genevino> vim-nox should do
14[00:05:21] <DJAnonimo> it will replace vi ?
15[00:05:34] <DJAnonimo> I mean if installed with apt-het
16[00:06:08] <genevino> i think that vim will be used if you
type vi on most computers these days, do you really need the
"old" one?
17[00:06:27] <jmcnaught> It will replace vi if you install
vim-nox or one of the others. This is configurable through
Debian's alternatives system (see for example
"update-alternatives --display vi")
18[00:06:45] <DJAnonimo> ok. i dont know. I will try
19[00:07:38] <DJAnonimo> vim (source: vim): Vi IMproved -
enhanced vi editor. In component main, is optional. Version

2404 kB
20[00:07:43] <jhutchins> Yes, I don't know of any Distros
that actually offer true vi. vim-minimal is pretty close, and most
install at least that.
21[00:07:45] <DJAnonimo> this says ubuntu boot
22[00:08:51] <genevino> jhutchins: most of the BSDs still ship
the old one as "vi", i believe for compatibility reasons,
but on the other hand most people i know use something like
"alias vi=vim" in their shell startup files.
23[00:09:00] <jmcnaught> vim-tiny, vim, vim-nox are all the
same version of vim compiled with different options. There are other
vis too like nvi and neovim.
25[00:09:25] <tomreyn> DJAnonimo: on a side note: make sure you
install a non-entirely-broken text editor on windows (such as
"notepad++") before you ever edit debian or any linux or
unix-like systesm' configuration files there again.
42[00:17:23] <DJAnonimo> rc.local do not exist, is it ok to
create a file and chmod +x ?
43[00:18:04] <jmcnaught> !rc.local
44[00:18:04] <dpkg> /etc/rc.local may be used to run simple
commands at boot time. It exists by default in jessie or older; in
stretch or newer you need to create it. Don't forget the
<shebang> and be sure to chmod 755 it. rc.local is considered
a hack, a stopgap, or a temporary band-aid; see <systemd>
45[00:18:33] <tomreyn> jhutchins: that's certainly a
feature!

simple.
57[00:25:14] <jhutchins> tomreyn: The longer I follow Red Hat,
the more I believe that they think Linux is just a utility to be
used by Windows. I'm not sure they believe that anybody
actually runs it as their only OS.
58[00:25:43] <jmcnaught> DJAnonimo: install the alsa-utils
package
59[00:25:53] <tomreyn> jhutchins: of course not, you'd
want a proper linux as well.

autoluanch unless you are in xorg. You might be able to just
manually run dbus first. Though I am unsure on the exact details
269[02:19:45] <somiaj> well it appears that you are going to
have to do some research to bet dbus and pulse running without xorg.
I also saw a situation of running a framebuffer xorg.

270[02:19:56] *** Quits: digitalD (~dp@replaced-ip) (Quit: My MacBook has gone to sleep. ZZZzzz…)
271[02:20:04] <somiaj> but seems debian has it setup that by
default dbus will only launch inside of xorg.
274[02:20:43] <qrpnxz> i got dbus on wayland. dunno where you
got that from
275[02:20:49] <qrpnxz> don't see any reason that should be
the case
276[02:21:19] <somiaj> qrpnxz: yea, should have said
xorg/wayland, but in this case wasn't important since it is a
headless server.
277[02:22:04] <qrpnxz> systemd uses dbus for a lot, so i reckon
it runs whether you are graphical or not
278[02:22:43] <somiaj> qrpnxz: "Unable to autolaunch a
dbus-daemon without a $DISPLAY for X11" -- I haven't
looked into it, but that error seems to suggest it is needed for
some things
279[02:23:17] *** Quits: Tobbi (~Tobbi@replaced-ip) (Quit: My MacBook has gone to sleep. ZZZzzz…)
280[02:23:49] <qrpnxz> only thing called x11 running on my sys
is /usr/libexec/ibus-x11 idk
281[02:24:19] <qrpnxz> which reminds me, it's annoying that
dbus-broker depends on dbus
282[02:24:25] <somiaj> I could be not correctly identifying what
is wrong, but there are other posts on google about issues with
pulse and dbus on a headless machine.
283[02:24:45] <somiaj> maybe only some features of dbus are
avilable without xorg/waylend by default.
284[02:25:17] <sney> maybe gdm3 or $display-manager handles
starting dbus in non-X environments
288[02:29:30] <somiaj> "This is not considered to be a bug.
Auto-launching D-Bus sessions when not under X11 would result in one
new D-Bus session per application that tried to use it, unable to
communicate with other user-facing applications that do not share
that session;"
289[02:30:03] <somiaj> So that is what is happeneing, it appears
one can manually run dbus-daemon for just pulse, but could take some
work.
290[02:31:11] <jmcnaught> Would "systemctl --user start
dbus" work? There is a user service unit at
/lib/systemd/user/dbus.service
291[02:31:45] <jmcnaught> DJAnonimo: is dbus even installed?
292[02:33:37] <DJAnonimo> dbus-daemon
293[02:33:40] <DJAnonimo> I see it
294[02:33:55] <DJAnonimo> D-Bus Message Bus Daemon 1.12.20
295[02:34:41] <somiaj> anyways, that bug report has a solution
296[02:35:49] <somiaj> though that bug report also states that
pulseaudio treats that as a warning and not an error and just
disable's dbus functionality, so maybe this is just a non issue
for DJAnonimo, and just a wanring
297[02:36:15] <somiaj> though it is also an older bug, 2012,
maybe pulseaudio has changed and no longer runs without dbus
311[02:42:26] <jmcnaught> DJAnonimo: you probably want
alsa-utils instead of alsa-tools. If you read the description of
alsa-tools it says it is for specific hardware.
342[03:24:02] <somiaj> Now if you are mixing repos, this is
another issue altogether. Though note you might want to disable the
proposed-updates repo and just wait until they make it to the point
relase
349[03:30:43] <ASDX> somiaj: for my reference, are the
configured updates purely confirmed by checking
/etc/apt/sources.list? does the proposed-updates repo contain
"proposed" in its name?
356[03:31:52] <dpkg> stable-proposed-updates is a repository
containing packages being prepared for the next <point
release>. While they have already been, your additional testing
is most welcome prior to wider release.
replaced-url
357[03:31:52] <somiaj> note buster-updates and buster/updates
are two drastically different repos
358[03:32:35] <somiaj> If you only want to wait for point
releases to get non-security updates, just have the main repo
debian, and the security repo debian/updates and update the full
system
359[03:32:45] <ASDX> thanks, glad to have the distinction
explained
368[03:44:37] <somiaj> buster/updates is the secuirty repo at
security.debian.org
369[03:45:25] <somiaj> buster-updates provides a method to get
certain point release fixes to users faster, though is only used in
rare cirucumstances
370[03:45:53] <somiaj> so having buster-updates in your
sources.list won't bring in stuff, ocassionally you'll get
updates before the point release.
371[03:46:32] <somiaj> though you should upgrade at the point
release for all the fixes that are sever enough that debian is
actually updating the package. In general debian only upgrades
packages in the most sever situations (security and some rc-bugs)
381[03:55:43] <ASDX> why is buster-updates only used in rare
circumstances? looks like it's enabled by default when
comparing a few installs, so you're saying the repo rarely gets
updates?
383[03:57:14] <somiaj> In general debian provides non-security
updates at point releases, that is only used in cases they think it
would be useful to get the fix to users eariler than a point release
384[03:57:52] <somiaj> which in my experience isn't that
often, the reason it is enabled by default is because that ensure
that if they put something there in the case they need to get a fix
out before a point-release, it will be avaible to most people
399[04:14:29] <ASDX> so with the out-of-the-box sources.lst,
" apt update && apt upgrade" would update to a
point release along with any urgent security fixes that may or not
may have not been released since the latest point release?
409[04:25:20] <ASDX> it's a bit confusing with
buster/updates pointing to a repo containing "security" to
look at that and think of as providing the point release only
(can't seem to find an equivalent to
replaced-url
410[04:25:52] <cws> ASDX: It doesn't provide point releases
only. Just *update your system*.
411[04:25:59] <cws> You are MASSIVELY overthinking this.
412[04:29:01] <somiaj> ASDX: point realse don't come from
debian/updates, only seuciryt fixes come from there. At point
releases all security fixes get coppied over to the main repo. Point
release also contain other non-security fixes.
420[04:32:09] <ryouma> ASDX: if somiaj says something and i say
somehting, listen to somiaj. but i was referring to, if you get the
notice about point releases on a mailing list.
422[04:32:59] <somiaj> I could have just missunderstood you. But
yes in debian just update regurally, you will get both security
fixes and at point release additional bug fixes.
425[04:35:54] <somiaj> ASDX: what is your end goal? Just realize
a debian stable release is a mostly frozen release that only gets
security fixes and grave bug fixes, which come from two different
sources, security fixes come as soon as they are ready via
buster/updates and non-security fixes come about every 3 months via
point releases.
426[04:36:20] *** Quits: ledeni (~ledeni@replaced-ip) (Remote host closed the connection)
427[04:36:29] <somiaj> But as a user, just update regulrally and
often and you'll get them all. Don't try to pick and
choose upgrades.
448[04:55:52] <sney> I have APT::Periodic::Update-Package-Lists
"1"; and APT::Periodic::Download-Upgradeable-Packages
"1"; set (via a file in apt.conf.d) on my remote machines,
and nagios informs me if they have updates pending. so I can run the
upgrade itself manually and make sure there isn't anything that
needs my attention.
449[04:56:41] <sney> similar options can be used to automate the
whole process; see the comments in /usr/lib/apt/apt.systemd.daily
455[05:01:29] <sney> probably not, but if you're worried
you can skim the announcements for those point releases to see if
there are any notes that affect your system(s)

491[06:03:03] <nkuttler> tbh, i'd always reinstall. in my
experience it's just faster hand hassle-free
492[06:03:32] <ryouma> zeroing mtab is recommended sometimes.
and you hafe to do trickiness to persuiade upgrades not to screw up
grub. and you need tricikiness to install grub int he first place.
494[06:04:05] <ryouma> i have accessibility issues with
installation so i created a shell script basically to do everything
needed to transfer the installation
495[06:04:21] <ryouma> so all i do is run it and then i am done
501[06:04:51] <nkuttler> or install from an existing os?
502[06:05:23] <ryouma> i don't know much about things like
debootstrap. in principle such thing smight be possible in some
cases.
503[06:05:37] <ryouma> however, installations require fixing
lots of things and making decisions
504[06:06:20] <ryouma> for example, you have to make accounts,
and set up crontabs, and all sorts of little gotchas there. i
suppose that could be a script. but i prefer to iknow that what i am
doing is exactly what i am doing.
505[06:07:24] <ryouma> you have to answer all sorts of questions
you have not answered since the last time you installed for example.
and at least with regular installation you can't really use
your computer normally.
507[06:08:14] <ryouma> all your accessibility settings, your
emacs config, your whatever, are not reallyavailable to you, and you
have sucky console (idk about gui install)
508[06:08:51] <jmcnaught> alex11: are you using LVM?
509[06:09:18] <alex11> no
510[06:10:54] <nkuttler> ryouma: fwiw, you might want to look
into config management tools instead of writing shell scripts
511[06:11:28] <ryouma> yeah it's an alternative to try to
automate installation. i am not confident of that, because it would
be a lot of effort for me and idk what the gotchas are.
512[06:11:35] <alex11> 'fresh install' and then
restoring /home and /etc is probably indeed the simplestr
515[06:12:18] <alex11> it's just that people make it sound
so simple - transferring installs - and i don't feel like it is
516[06:12:27] <alex11> i have to read up about all that stuff
517[06:13:32] <ryouma> for me it is better to transfer, but
those who are really familiar with debootstrap and preconfiguring
debconf and using configuration management tools would find it
better to install, is my impression
519[06:14:40] <ryouma> rsync and fstab are at the core of it but
you also need chroot to install grub and you need to ensure the next
version of grub won't go looking for the mbr on a different
device. idr the details.
520[06:16:01] <ryouma> if you can install with no real trouble,
you will get hw compatibility taken care of by the installer. if you
transfer to a new machine, you might need microcode or drivers for x
or sound.
521[06:16:03] <alex11> chroot scares me and it shouldn't
545[06:49:29] <alkisg> alex11, "dd /dev/sda /dev/sdb"
clones a disk; while with rsync or cp, you'll need to also run
`grub-install`. I use it all the time for schools, installing a
school server is 2-3 commands and 5 minutes of waiting...
546[06:50:31] <alex11> how much does it clone?
547[06:51:02] <alkisg> Which one, the dd? Unless you specify a
count, it clones until the length of sda
548[06:51:47] <alkisg> If sdb is smaller, you can either shrink
sda with gparted, or clone disks with gparted itself
549[06:51:57] <alkisg> Right click copy, right click paste...
550[06:52:27] <ryouma> dd will screw up your /dev/disk stuff i
think
551[06:52:32] <ryouma> i.e. you get dups
552[06:52:51] <alkisg> dups of what, files? No, dd clones at the
block level, it doesn't produce duplicates
556[06:53:44] <ryouma> if you don't mind having same
id's you're ok though presumably e.g. if it is a totally
different machine
557[06:53:54] <alkisg> If uuids are changed, then /etc/fstab and
grub need to be updated; that's why dd is simpler there,
because it avoids these; with the restriction that you
shouldn't use both the source and target disk at the same
computer
558[06:54:26] <alkisg> And of course uuids can be changed with
tune2fs

610[07:12:03] <Peppi> but I must be missing something then
611[07:12:12] <alkisg> Why?
612[07:12:13] <Peppi> sec
613[07:13:32] <Peppi> I'm trying to find that file I
created after: sudo systemctl --full --force edit
wifi_powersave@.service you said /etc/systemd yes?
643[07:19:08] <alkisg> Peppi: the first answer in the link you
sent, says it's off by default. Can you reboot and check with
`iw wlan0 get power_save` ?
644[07:19:37] *** Quits: catman370 (~catman@replaced-ip) (Quit: See you later..)
645[07:19:50] <alkisg> Peppi: wait, you can unload and reload
the module instead:
646[07:19:57] <Peppi> alkisg, it's not off by default. I
already checked
647[07:20:08] <Peppi> like I booted it and it was on
680[07:25:48] <somiaj> I swtiched to mobaxterm from ssh a while
ago, mostly becuse of default x11 forwarding

683[07:26:30] <Peppi> alkisg, that's all I see
684[07:26:39] * alkisg prefers reverse vnc over ssh for graphics,
instead of ssh -X... it allows processes to continue running even if
ssh connection is dropped
685[07:27:21] <alkisg> Peppi: how about systemctl status
service-name-here
686[07:27:47] <alkisg> Maybe you mistyped something when editing
the service file?
711[07:35:34] <alkisg> I think that by default it's off,
and you followed that, and you set it to on :D
712[07:36:15] <Peppi> your command asks for authentication FYI
713[07:37:03] <alkisg> The systemctl start/restart commands are
supposed to be run as root. Either with su - or sudo -i. Otherwise
they ask for authentication, yeah
714[07:37:14] *** Quits: szorfein (~daggoth@replaced-ip) (Remote host closed the connection)
718[07:38:25] <alkisg> This is the output of journalctl; what we
want is the output of these: sudo systemctl start

719[07:38:44] *** Quits: szorfein (~daggoth@replaced-ip) (Remote host closed the connection)

761[07:45:45] <alkisg> And this one shows off? iw wlan0 set
power_save on; systemctl restart wifi_powersave@off.service; iw
wlan0 get power_save
762[07:46:13] <Peppi> alkisg, correct
763[07:46:16] <alkisg> Peppi: ok then the service is right, it
just needed a "restart" instead of a "start" due
to the "RemainAfterExit=yes" part of the systemd unit
764[07:46:33] <alkisg> Peppi: and you want it off by
default,right?
775[07:48:34] <alkisg> So I think that you caused the power
save=on, instead of avoiding it :D
776[07:48:36] <Peppi> think I got it. Ok so going to reboot yes?
777[07:48:38] <alkisg> Yes
778[07:48:42] <somiaj> Miguel2013: doesn't debian live just
boot you into a session that is logged in?
779[07:49:17] <Peppi> ok rebooting this will take some time...
now I can think
780[07:49:46] <somiaj> Miguel2013: the defualt has changed a
bit, looks at one time it was user/live, but unsure if that has
changed. My understanding is when you boot up it logs you in
automatically, at that point use sudo and set the password
786[07:51:59] <alkisg> Peppi: ok. So, how sure are you, that
before you started all that, the default wasn't already off?
787[07:53:05] <Peppi> alkisg, 100% sure... or as close as I can
get to that
788[07:53:42] <alkisg> I'll fire up my rpi4 and see,
although currently I have raspbian there, and my rockpro64 that has
debian testing doesn't have a wlan...
789[07:53:48] <Peppi> my issue was how he wrote the code after:
Now enable just what you want on boot up:
790[07:54:17] <Peppi> I think this is on raspbian... I'm
using octopi
791[07:54:28] <Peppi> isn't that raspbian or???
792[07:54:31] <alkisg> Ah, this channel is for debian only

811[07:59:01] <jim> I got a guy running debian buster, he did an
upgrade, before the upgrade he had kernel 4.19.0-14-amd64 and after,
he got kernel 4.19.0-16-amd64; the issue he reports is that now
uname -a and uname -r just says nothing but `x86_64`
819[08:07:46] <somiaj> jim: check the bts for know issues, but
uname -a here is "Linux zeno 4.19.0-16-amd64 #1 SMP Debian
4.19.181-1 (2021-03-19) x86_64 GNU/Linux"
828[08:16:50] <jim> that's what I was trying to get him to
do, dunno the status as he's currently not responding.
I'll get the info to you as soon as I get it
829[08:17:16] <jim> and/or, someone could watch ##linux (but not
much action on that issue right now)
849[08:39:23] <jelly> jim, unane -r never said anything about
x86_64 in the first place
850[08:40:09] <jelly> also, please avoid proxying someone
ELSE's issues from other channels. If they need #debian help
point them here and they can ask themselves
868[09:01:01] <jim> jelly, there is a problem with doing so... I
have seen and also experienced how #debian treats people, and
I'm not going to subject them to that
870[09:02:01] <jim> so please don't ever ask me to do so
again
871[09:02:02] <SymbioticFemale> whats the best way to share
screen? vnc?
872[09:02:53] <alkisg> SymbioticFemale: I'm using reverse
vnc, where the technician port-forwards, while the user can be
behind nat and only needs one command. E.g. to test it, run: x11vnc
-connect alkisg.ltsp.org => screen shared
873[09:03:24] <SymbioticFemale> mmmm that looks nice
876[09:05:28] <jelly> jim, if bed-side manner need fixing
that's something to work on, I can agree with that. But please
understand I get frustrated with the incomplete, filtered
information you pass on
884[09:09:00] <jim> but given you probably can look at one
channel at a time, and can't necessarily tell when a debian
issue is being discussed, I can understand when you don't
(given you're busy, or elsewhere (or both))
900[09:14:09] <jim> there wasn't much more, partly because
he didn't respond after that
901[09:15:04] <jim> so, I tried to find out if any other folks
had the issue. and, now I'm remembering that he said he's
running buster with some backports
902[09:15:08] * alkisg also felt harassed here in the past, and left
for a year or so, but decided to come back and just state it if
it's ever the case again
918[09:24:55] <somiaj> This channel is usually helpful (though
dealing with debian derivatives can often be a sore spot). Though
filtering people from here and acting as a middle person on a
support issue not only makes support harder, it perpetrates and
issue rather than trying to improve the community.
931[09:29:58] <jim> also... the guy stopped responding, I could
have asked other questions, and did ask him to boot into the earlier
kernel, but alas, he wasn't responding
983[10:27:17] <ratrace> and likely unnecessary. very few are
feasible targets for such subversion. if you host cat videos,
you're probably not interesting. if you host wikileaks, you
probably have people injected into your org who will subvert you
from inside. :) it's never black and white.
992[10:44:41] <SymbioticFemale> what would cause a SSH tunnel
(debian running SSH server) to hang every time more than a few bytes
travel over it?
993[10:45:29] <ratrace> SymbioticFemale: check with tcpdump, if
those packets are going over without returning acks
994[10:45:49] <SymbioticFemale> i have one debian box where the
terminal hangs any time too many lines of data pass over it, or when
an ncurses application is opened in a large (20+ line) terminal
995[10:47:08] <sigint> SymbioticFemale, I bet it's an MTU
problem
996[10:47:27] <SymbioticFemale> sigint: i also suspect it is an
mtu problem
997[10:48:20] <SymbioticFemale> the connection is over wireguard
1026[11:31:12] <steven> ok, so because this is still an issue I
figured Imma ask one more time. Does debian have repository issuses
or something? I am running apt update w/ 20kb/s for like months now
1040[11:36:21] <steven> how does debian resolve
replaced-url
1041[11:37:11] <ratrace> depends on how it's configured to
resolve. by default probably no local recursive caching resolver and
whatever's in resolv.conf
1045[11:38:35] <ratrace> an deb.debian.org is the CDN afaik, so
you can force a non-CDN mirror. somethign physically closer. if you
rent your server, maybe teh DC has a mirror

1064[12:08:57] <oxek> if you find a way of fixing it, let me know
1065[12:09:22] <ratrace> oxek: regardless of mirrors chosen?
1066[12:09:30] <oxek> regardless of mirror chosen
1067[12:09:50] <ratrace> does docker do any QoS?

1069[12:10:02] <oxek> it helps if I cancel the apt operation, and
try again several times
1070[12:10:07] <oxek> it eventually works at full speed
1071[12:10:14] <oxek> but fails on the next invocation again
1072[12:10:26] <oxek> since it's this random, I did not find
a way of debugging it
1073[12:10:34] <oxek> and it happens on two machines
1074[12:11:05] <ratrace> I'd start with tcpdump and see how
those packets go ... any resends going on. window sizes....
1075[12:11:07] <oxek> very likely an issue with the docker in
buster, will probably go away on its own in bullseye, or if I were
to use upstream docker
1077[12:11:53] <ratrace> "docker" aplication does not
process network packets, it "just" manages namespaces. if
there's a bug there, it's a bug in how namespces are set
up and should be fixable in any version

1207[14:02:01] <TheBigK> thats actually kinda sad, that
openjdk-8-jdk does not exist in debian buster or bullseye... i hate
that i have to have an external mirror just for that
1211[14:03:00] <jelly> adoptjdk is probably a good source
1212[14:03:56] <TheBigK> jelly: yes it is... right now we
actually use the oldstable ... but im going to change that when we
upgrade to bullseye
1213[14:04:03] <jelly> I;m honestly not sure why AdoptJDK exists,
and then several member have THEIR OWN builds: Amazon, IBM/RHEL,
Microsoft all have their own builds and packages for jdk8
1223[14:07:54] <TheBigK> thats the update which is shown to me
when i would install patches.. which we will do when we do the
dist-upgrade.. unless some serious issues come up...
1236[14:13:43] <jelly> now I wonder whether to fix make-jpkg
script to accept OpenJDK8U-jdk_x64_linux_hotspot_8u292b10.tar.gz or
just not bother with .deb packaging
1328[15:19:38] <cws> Iutech: Not overly familiar with the

1555[17:54:45] <corank> Hey folks! I have a question. Around this
time when testing has been frozen, is it possible to migrate from
sid to testing (and then to the coming stable Bullseye) relatively
safely?
1559[17:55:21] <jelly> corank, yes but keyword being
"relatively"
1560[17:55:56] <jhutchins> corank: Backups.
1561[17:55:57] <corank> Ah haha right
1562[17:56:14] <corank> Jhu
1563[17:56:16] <jelly> sometimes there's stuff in sid that
never ends up in testing, you'd have to check for packages that
don't exist in versions you got already installed
1564[17:56:25] <RadoS> I wanted to try "unattened
updates", but when selecting witht he installer, no updates are
processed after several days & reboots. Is there more to setup
to make it work just the selecting it in the installer?

something manually before it can even work?
1604[18:14:16] <jhutchins> RadoS: Release upgrades require
manually changing the sources.list - unless you did something silly
like using "stable" instead of "buster".
1605[18:14:47] <jhutchins> Frankly I prefer the idea of knowing

1627[18:46:16] <RadoS> greycat, thanks. Does this mean only with
GNOME it is enabled to work out-of-the-box, while everything else
requires extra config effort per conf files for apt & cron?
1655[19:09:33] <Gerowen> Random question about backing up
off-site with duplicity to a b2 bucket. Since I have about 13 TB
worth of data; my initial backup is going to take a very long time,
and running it on the drives live isn't really a great idea
since the data will be changing in the middle of the backup. I have
an external drive that I've been using as "off-site"
storage and my question is this. If I do the first backup from that
external drive, and then switch it so
1656[19:09:34] <Gerowen> that future backups come from the actual
live drives in the system, will duplicity still just scan for
differences between the source and destination, or since the source
changes, will it do a totally new backup from the beginning?
1670[19:22:52] <somiaj> looks like it just uses rsync, which by
default uses both file size and last modfied time to determine if a
new copy needs to be made or not.
1671[19:23:04] <sigint> Gerowen, I know it's super anoying
when one asks a question about X and gets recommneded Y... but have
you checked restic or borg?
1672[19:23:10] <Gerowen> somiaj: I'll have to double check,
but at first glance all it says is that "only parts of files
that have changed" would be backed up, which is what I
suspected; I just know that this backup process would probably take
a LONG time because even just checking the contents means it would
have to decrypt and read the contents of the archives to compare
against the source.
1675[19:23:45] <sigint> I switched to restic to backup my NAS and
it handles well the scenario you described
1676[19:24:09] <sigint> as it doesn't care about file paths
for deduplication
1677[19:24:13] <somiaj> Gerowen: yea, there are various ways that
rsync can handel this in determine if a file is changed or not,
using diffs vs whole file. I don't use duplicity, but basically
provided the filesize/last modified time (or more complicated
md5sums) are the same it won't copy the file over again.
1678[19:24:42] <somiaj> Gerowen: I just don't know what
duplicity uses to determine if a file is different by default.
1718[19:45:22] <rockworld> hi there is a way of redirecting a
directory into apache website without using proxy method? because I
have icecast page running on port 8000 and centovacast running on
port 2133 so I would like to forward these to page to a html page of
my website, im using apache2, im out of idea and not sure about the
proxy method
1720[19:45:36] <shtrb> If nvidia-detect return "Your card is
supported by all driver versions." does it mean I can install
libnvidia-tesla-460 packages too ?
1721[19:46:35] <somiaj> rockworld: I don't think setting up
a directory location will work in that case, and what you describe
sounds like what a proxy is for.
1722[19:47:22] <shtrb> rockworld, proxying would be the way to do
, but if these ports EVERYTHING accessible you could do a page that
give you a redirect too (bad idea but would work)
1723[19:47:26] <somiaj> rockworld: i.e. I don't thinke
icecast and centovacast are static files in a directory you can just
share, you'll want to setup a proxy.
1724[19:47:51] <rockworld> as I know a proxy can be used to hide
people ip
1725[19:47:57] <rockworld> so Im worried about security
1726[19:48:18] <greycat> that's a different kind of proxy
1727[19:48:24] <rockworld> ah right
1728[19:48:32] <shtrb> rockworld, you should be having proxy on
your side not on the other side

1741[19:51:52] <shtrb> rockworld, take a look at ProxyPass but
before hand secure your server ! make sure you have blocked
everything all the time and only allow a specific set of users (even
auth by cert )
1742[19:52:27] <rockworld> yes thats why I need that I need to
setup a ssl certificate on that
1811[20:16:56] <somiaj> You might have to look up if there are
another other Proxy options you need to enable for icecast. I know
that when setting up my few proxies, apache took a lot more work
than nginx due to all of its configuration options.
1812[20:17:00] <rockworld> I can share the 443 virtualhost conf

1855[20:36:23] <deadrom> just installing 10.8 on an x64, went for
a .nl mirror (that's near my location and the dutchies have
fast lines) still progress says for an xfce install and nothing else
"1h 10min"
1856[20:36:31] <deadrom> can I break at this point to try another
mirror
1908[21:03:51] <sney> jason1234: there is a 3.16 kernel in
wheezy-backports from the same archive mirror, that might support
your hardware a little better
1927[21:22:21] <coc0nut> is it possible to run a browser as a
server? like znc-bouncer in example. so you like log in to the
browser remotely from another place? :P might be giving away genious
ideas here :p had a few ideas today hehe
1928[21:22:42] <sigdk> Hi. After installing debian/grub, I
can't boot from windows 10. Any idea how to fix the my
bootloader to have the option for dual-boot?
1929[21:23:59] <HannaM> coc0nut: what for? remove page-rendering
and then deliver it to your local machine?
1930[21:24:14] <HannaM> -remove +remote
1931[21:24:23] <HannaM> (*sigh* my keyboard is failing..)
1953[21:37:21] <coc0nut> "mighty" looks cool sney! i
was thinking something similar just running it as a service or
something. without loosing functionality... third party clouds isnt
much of privacy :/

2120[22:06:31] <jerome> hey there. I am trying to get btrfs raid1
working over an encrypted lvm setup. As of now, btrfs-progs seems
broken (#982990) with such as setup. Has anyone built something
similar (raid1, crypt and btrfs)?
2181[22:53:16] <unixbsd> oh, i will manage alone... it might be
possible
2182[22:53:40] <unixbsd> apt-get live stuffs... and then I
debootstrap, and I add syslinux or grub2. wont be hard
2183[22:55:46] <jhutchins> !live
2184[22:55:46] <dpkg> The Debian Live project provides pre-built
Debian live system images and allows creation of your own. These can
be used to install a Debian system (although the installer is better
to use). Live images are available from
replaced-url
2185[22:56:28] <unixbsd> I prefer to have my own lives, that
rocks better. I add all necessary, like a C compiler at least.
2205[23:03:04] <jhutchins> pcercuei: Only you can tell us if a
specific kernel works with your hardware. Boot back to 4.19 to be
sure it's not something else messing up.
2206[23:03:38] <pcercuei> no, it's reproductible
2207[23:03:55] <jhutchins> pcercuei: There should be some
discussion of the specific problems wiht 5.10 in the mailing lists..
2208[23:04:04] <pcercuei> booting back to 4.9 restores the normal
behaviour
2209[23:04:27] <jhutchins> 4.9 is not a current kernel.
2210[23:04:39] <unixbsd> Do you want my config for that one ??
that would compile easily. initrd.img-5.8.0-25-generic
2225[23:09:05] <pcercuei> Usually when things like that appear I
can bisect the issue, but 4.19 -> 5.10 is a HUGE step
2226[23:10:28] <unixbsd> you need modules
2227[23:10:59] <pcercuei> of course
2228[23:11:04] <jelly> pcercuei, which debian release?
2229[23:11:18] <tomreyn> pcercuei: the log you posted shows
problems with an optical disk (might just be scratched?), nouveau
(i'm not surprised when it fails), gnome-calendar. did i miss
anything?
2230[23:11:38] <pcercuei> jelly: latest testing, with the stable
kernel
2233[23:13:08] <pcercuei> tomreyn: there's no CD/DVD in the
drive. I also had the CPU/GPU fan running at full speed, and in an
earlier attempt, ext4 filesystem corruption warnings
2234[23:13:16] <jelly> gnome-calendar is a segfault, possibly
from graphic drive midbehaving
2237[23:14:08] <pcercuei> tomreyn: I could boot to the desktop
(maybe with llvmpipe - didn't think to check) but it took a
good minute to appear after logging on
2238[23:14:08] *** Quits: czesmir (~stefan@replaced-ip) (Quit: Lost terminal)
2239[23:14:38] <jelly> pcercuei, see if you can find an older 5.8
or 5.9 from debian ^
2240[23:14:50] <pcercuei> jelly: nice, thanks!
2241[23:15:04] <tomreyn> pcercuei: hmm, ok, so it's less
likley to be randomly induced, i agree.
2242[23:15:20] <jelly> you can boot the buster kernel in the
meantime to make things stable
2243[23:15:55] <pcercuei> jelly: yes, that's what I'm
doing, but I see Debian 11 coming, and I don't want to be stuck
in the past :)
2244[23:16:02] <unixbsd> is there still a backport or something?
if still existing, that might help you
2245[23:17:43] *** Quits: freebench (~freebench@replaced-ip) (Remote host closed the connection)
2324[23:54:37] <DJAnonimo> jelly: youre right. good idea
2325[23:54:38] <greycat> jelly: he's convinced (because he
saw it on the web) that if he runs some magic command to disable the
HDMI port it will reduce power consumption even though he's not
doing X11 and I have no idea whether he's doing audio or not.
2326[23:54:59] <greycat> So he has this magic command from a
third-party repository, and now he's BACK asking MORE questions
about it...
2328[23:56:04] <unixbsd> well you can use debootstrap and run
debian, clean debian. you just need to have clean /boot config to
see the msdos2 ie. ext4.

2330[23:56:25] <jelly> DJAnonimo, actually powering off hdmi out
would probably either be done with a custom device tree, or indeed a
platform-specific tool
2331[23:56:31] <jelly> !debian-arm
2332[23:56:40] <unixbsd> i already ran ubuntu and devuan for
testing by using debootstrap. it is smaller. it works also.
2333[23:56:52] <jelly> DJAnonimo, ask in #debian-arm over on OFTC
2334[23:57:20] <pcercuei> disabling HDMI should be as easy as
plugging off the cable
2335[23:57:20] <DJAnonimo> jelly: I powered off HDMI, just it do
not turned off hdmi audio
2336[23:57:20] <pcercuei> If the driver isn't stupid
it'll put the hardware in low-power state
